1. SUBJECT MATTER.
1.1. By virtue of this declaration, the company ITCraftLabs Ltd T/A LUMENO (hereinafter also referred to as the “Supplier”) grants to its direct Clients, for the period specified under article 3, a warranty on the Products of the LUMENO brand (hereinafter also referred to as the “Products”, or as the “Product” when referred to only one of them) against any original manufacturing and/or design defects. This warranty, therefore, does not cover any products bearing trademarks other than those of the LUMENO brand.
1.2. This warranty is to be applied according to the terms and conditions specified below. Moreover, this warranty is to be applied only for the Products supplied to Professional Clients, i.e. to those entities belonging to the distribution network that purchase the Products directly from the Supplier for the purpose of their future resale. Such entities may include, but are not limited to, managers of specific retail shops, managers of retail chain stores and those of large-scale retail channels. This warranty, thus, shall never apply in favour of a final user, for which the national laws and regulations of reference remain in force and will be enforceable directly against the seller itself.
1.3. For this warranty to be activated, the Client shall expressly request it to the Supplier.
1.4. The Supplier reserves the right, at its sole discretion and within 7 (seven) days from the receipt of the relevant request, to assess if the conditions necessary for granting the warranty apply. It shall then communicate the Client if the warranty is granted or
denied. In any case, the Supplier reserves the right to accept or deny the request to activate the warranty submitted by the Client. The warranty shall therefore be valid only after being expressly accepted by the Supplier.
Should the latter refuse to activate the warranty, the Client shall not be entitled to claim any right, compensation, or indemnity.
2. WARRANTY TERMS.
2.1. The warranty covers any original design and/or manufacturing defects of the Products which appear within a period stated on the product datasheet, starting from the invoice date.
2.2. The defect shall in any case be reported, under penalty of invalidation, within 60 (sixty) days from its detection. It is, in any case, agreed that the Products must be verified and checked on arrival, also as regards their compliance with the purchase order. Any discrepancies concerning the quantity, kind or type of the Products supplied, as well as the presence of any manifest defects, that is to say defects that may be detected with a simple visual control of the Product, shall always be reported in writing, also via fax/email, nor later than thirty (30) days from the receipt thereof, specifying all the details for an immediate control, including the identification code. After such period, the Products shall be deemed as accepted for all purposes and the Client shall not be able to enforce any manifest defect of the Product.
3. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS.
3.1. In order for this warranty to be valid, Products shall be installed by qualified staff and shall be used, kept and maintained in compliance with the technical sheet and instruction sheet provided with each Product or with the LUMENO catalogue or with any documentation supplied by the Supplier, provided no plates or labels are removed.
3.2. In any case, the Supplier shall not be held liable and, thus, the Warranty shall not be applicable, in case of:

3.3. Furthermore, the Supplier shall not be held liable and, thus, the Warranty shall not be applicable, in case of:
• reduction or deterioration of the luminous flux up to a value equal to 0.6% per 1000 service hours compared with the initial value;
• LED mortality equal to or below the nominal failure rate of 0.2% every 1000 usage hours;
• any differences of tone and luminous flux due to successive supplies of the Product.
